I don't think I can ever live up to your standards Steve.

4 month update:
Installed the magnafuel FPR, polished & installed the fuel rail, and installed the ID1000's.

I also put in some heat reflective foil, installed my brake proportioning valve, and ran the line from the valve to the factory rear brake line.

Looking good.

Awesome build. BTW, some time ago I had my FPR on the firewall of one of my cars and the local track told me I had to relocate it. If you plan to run the car, might want to check with the track before you get further into the build.

I dig the finish on the manifold and cover

Thank you sir.

The track I usually run at is pretty slack to be honest, but that is a good point. I will double check on the exact rule. I know there is a gap by running non shielded braided fuel line in the engine bay passing by the flywheel as well that I may need to address. I appreciate the heads up.

Thanks. I had other plans initially, but decided to go with wrinkle black in the end. I think it came out better than I had imagined.

Super clean as usual.

I still would have gone 4l80e any day over TH-400

Where did you get the gold heat reflector? I need!

For a mostly track driven car? I would agree if I wanted OD, or intended to mostly street drive the car, but I got a TH400 for the lower cost, smaller size, and lighter weight, tons of spare parts available, and no wiring necessary (save for the brake).  I would have gone PG, but I wanted to occasionally drive it on the street to local shows.

Pegasus racing carries it.

Holy crapola, three thumbs up!

Got the header mounted with some ARP M10x1.25 stainless hardware, mocked up the turbo oil lines, installed the wastegate & dump tube, and put my throttle body back on:






I also finished up my fuel lines and had a chance to pressurize the system and check for leaks (had to use my phone to record video since I couldn't see the gauge and provide power to the pump at the same time.  This is the sound of the Magnafuel MP 4301, lol:
